Save the Ring Monitoring Center phone number.
Add the Ring Monitoring Center phone number at 833-209-2159 to your mobile phone’s contacts to help ensure you won’t miss a call during an emergency.

To Receive Emergency Calls in Do Not Disturb Mode
While Do Not Disturb (DND) mode can be a useful mobile phone feature to turn on when you need peace and quiet, it can keep you from receiving Ring Alarm emergency calls immediately.
After saving the Ring Monitoring Center (833-209-2159) as a contact in your mobile device, override your device’s Do Not Disturb (DND) settings to receive Ring Alarm emergency calls right away by turning on Emergency Bypass.
To turn on Emergency Bypass for iOS:
- Navigate to the Ring Monitoring Center in your contacts.
- Tap Edit.
- Select Ringtone.
- Turn on the Emergency Bypass toggle.
(Screenshots below provided for reference.)
To bypass Do Not Disturb for Android devices:
- Open the Android Settings app.
-
Tap Sound & vibration.
- For some Android devices, this may be under Notifications instead.
- Tap Do Not Disturb.
- Tap People.
- Tap Calls to select contacts that can interrupt Do Not Disturb mode.
Bypassing Do Not Disturb using Starred Contacts for Android.
If you choose “Starred Contacts,” remember to go to the Ring Monitoring contact screen on your mobile device and tap the star icon to ensure you receive emergency calls from Ring.

* A compatible Ring Protect subscription is required to enroll in the Ring Alarm professional monitoring service. Professional monitoring service is available only within the U.S. (all 50 states, but not U.S. territories) and in Canada (excluding Quebec). Ring does not own its own professional monitoring center. Smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring is not available for commercial properties. See Ring alarm licenses at: http://ring.com/licenses. Additional permit or false alarm fees may apply depending on your local jurisdiction. Additional charges may apply in areas that require permits or guard response service for alarm verification.
